Having a great eye for design is a natural gift-one that can be enhanced by training and life experience, but never taught. Paul Vincent Wiseman has just that innate talent. This is evident in the quality and scope of projects emanating from his eponymous interior design studio, The Wiseman Group, founded in San Francisco in 1980.
Paul was born in the rich delta country of California's Sacramento Valley. His formative years in an agricultural community have made him both sensible and grounded, but he has always marched to the beat of his own drum. After studying at the University of California- Berkeley, his zest for travel took him all over Europe and the Far East.
By his mid-twenties, he had lived for extended periods in both France and Australia. It was during these youthful travels that he realized his passion for design. Direct, thoughtful exposure to the disparate cultures of the world has allowed Paul to be truthful to what is authentic. His cultural awareness helps him avoid a common design mistake of forcing elements that simply do not fit the story of a property.

All I can say is that when one follows their passion, the rest follows. Yes, I found my passion early. I was 27 when I took the leap into this business. Go ahead and do the math.
